Editorial Reviews

"Each chapter is built in a logical way, starting with some key points for learning and then presenting text, tables and figures for further consideration . There are plenty of really nice diagrams and radiologic and echocardiography pictures throughout the book and it is apparent that the authors have done an extensive literature review on the subject, providing information that is up-to-date and relevant."
